When I Finally Saw It For What It Was
You ever look back on a message and realize how much it says- not about you but about them? This was one of those messages for me.
He told me I was the one who stopped trying, that I didn’t ‘do better’, that I caused hi stress. But the truth is…I was already breaking under the weight of his anger, criticism, and his emotional distance. I wasn’t lazy. I was tired. Tired of defending myself, tired of walking on eggshells, tired of trying to love someone who made me feel like I was never enough.
I used to read messages like this and question myself: Was I really the problem?
Now I see it differently.
That was a projection. It was blame dressed up as reasoning. And I no longer carru that weight.
These days I don’t argue back. I don’t explain myself.
I choose peace.
Because I’ve learned that healing means no longer trying to prove your worth to someone who can’t see it.
I’ve moved on- not out of spite, but out of self-love. And that’s the difference between staying stuck and finally rising!
